Before you start the installation process, confirm the following:
On the system where you want to install the Real User Analyzer and Collector, complete the following procedure:
Use a text editor to open the server-silent-options-linux file.
Use the default installation directory or enter a new directory for the installation:
-P installLocation=/opt/bmc/euem
(Optional) To prevent the Analyzer or Collector installation, add a # symbol to beginning of the relevant line.
-A featureEuemAnalyzer -A featureEuemCollector
Verify the configuration information and change the port numbers, disk space, or amount of RAM for the Analyzer or Collector, if required.
Ensure that the port numbers you enter are available.

Real EUEM Server configuration descriptions
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
euem_hostname | The host address is the Fully Qualified Domain Name, host name, virtual IP, or public IP address for the machine where the component is installed. This host address is used when a component generates a link to itself (e.g., within mailouts). This is a mandatory parameter. The installation will fail if this parameter is not entered. |
max_memory | (Optional) The maximum amount of physical memory (GB) available to the installed components If the amount of physical memory is not set for the Analyzer and Collector, this field sets the maximum amount of memory available for these components. If none of the memory options (analyzer_optional_ram, collector_optional_ram, max_memory) are set, the maximum amount of memory available for these components is the total amount of physical memory available on the system, up to 24 GB per component. |
analyzer_activation_key_file_path | If you are installing the Real User Analyzer, enter the path to the activation key file that you received from BMC Customer Support. If you do not have an activation key file, you can use the Real User Analyzer for a 30-day trial period by entering the Trial in this field. For example: -J analyzer_activation_key_file_path=Trial Note: Contact BMC Customer Support to receive an activation key file for the Real User Analyzer. |
analyzer_company_name_for_activation | The company name must match the name that is in the activation key file you received from BMC Customer Support. If you do not have an activation key file, you can use the Real User Analyzer for a 30-day trial period by entering your company's name. |
analyzer_http_port | Port numbers for the Real User Analyzer |
analyzer_https_port | |
analyzer_shutdown_port | Port number to close the Real User Analyzer service port |
analyzer_sessions_port | Port number for the Real End User Experience Monitoring Performance Analytics Engine (PAE) sessions |
analyzer_pages_port | Port number for the Real End User Experience Monitoring PAE session pages |
analyzer_objects_port | Port number for the Real End User Experience Monitoring PAE page objects |
analyzer_username | User name to access the Real User Analyzer |
analyzer_password anayzer_confirm_password | Password to access the Real User Analyzer You must enter an encrypted password. |
analyzer_database_port | Port number for the Real User Analyzer PostgreSQL database |
analyzer_logrotate_dir | Location for the log rotate directory |
analyzer_data_disk_space_size | Maximum disk space allowed for the Real User Analyzer data The disk space size must be 100–570 GB. |
analyzer_optional_ram | (Optional) The maximum amount of physical memory (GB) available to the Real User Analyzer The amount of physical memory must be 7–24 GB. If this setting is not used, the max_memory setting is used for the amount of physical memory. |
collector_http_port | Port numbers for the Real User Collector |
collector_https_port | |
collector_shutdown_port | Port number to close the Real User Collector service port |
collector_username | User name to access the Real User Collector |
collector_password collector_confirm_password | Password to access the Real User Collector You must enter an encrypted password. |
collector_database_port | Port number for the Real User Collector PostgreSQL database |
collector_data_disk_space | Maximum disk space allowed for the Real User Collector data The minimum disk space size must be 20–100 GB. |
collector_optional_ram | (Optional) The maximum amount of physical memory available to the Real User Collector The amount of physical memory must be 7–24 GB. If this setting is not used, the max_memory setting is used for the amount of physical memory. |
snmp_port | Port number for the SNMP service. The default SNMP port number can be changed, if necessary. |
snmp_active | Change to true to enable SNMP. |
demo_mode | (Optional) Installs the Real User Analyzer and Collector in Demo mode that only uses 10 GB of disk space for data and 2.5 GB of physical memory This mode is only used for a system Proof of Concept (POC) installation. Change to true to enable the Demo mode. |
skip_validation | (Optional) Does not check the validity of all installation settings Note: BMC recommends you do not change the skip_validation false setting. If no setting validations are made during the installation process, the Real User Analyzer and Collector might not work correctly. |
Save and close the server-silent-options-linux.txt file.
Enter the following command:
./setup.bin -i silent -DOPTIONS_FILE=<Full File Path>/server-silent-options-linux.txt
Notes
The Maintenance Tool enables you to create an encrypted password that the Real User Analyzer and Collector installation process requires for importing a keystore. You must use an encrypted password so that the KeyStore password is not exposed in the server-silent-options.txt file.
You can run the Maintenance Tool in a GUI or from the command line interface (CLI).
Install the Cloud Probe so it can send information to the Real User Collector. Review the system's access security features and configuration files that must be protected from non-root users. To view a Real User Analyzer component as a data provider to the Presentation Server , you must register the Analyzer with the Presentation Server.
